Sourdough Architecture | GANZU LUMUMBA AVE (OPP Interservice Tower)
By Catherine Lie
Sourdough Architecture is a hybrid library/ dinner party/ workshop series that explores how global collective trends and everyday rituals of feeding and baking sourdough can open up discussions on arts, design, and ecology to the broader public. Themes include community engagement, ecological stewardship, and intergenerational knowledge exchange in Uganda.

Catherine Anabella Lie (b. 1992) is an Indonesian interdisciplinary artist, designer, researcher and educator based in Mexico City. Interested in the notion of commoning, Catherine works with scores, videos, texts and their translations to explore alternative histories against the dominant narrative structure. Using commonly found materials in her everyday life: DIY treatments; wild facts and everyday languages, she weaves themes such as interdependencies, mutual intergenerational care, ecology, climate, cyclical time and animacy in contexts such as hospitality and pedagogical experiments. Blending her multiscalar design thinking and fabrication knowledge with lo-fi technologies, she works with digital archives to soil to weathering to gravity, revealing voices oftentimes non-present in our built environments.
